S. N. Tripathi Career

In 1935, Tripathi arrived in Bombay and found work as a violinist assisting music director Saraswati Devi at Bombay Talkies. His first film as a composer was Chandan (1942). He continued to compose for films like Janam Janam Ke Phere (1957), where the song "Zara Saamne Toh Aao Chhaliye" became the top Binaca Geetmala song. Trained as a classicist, the popularity of his songs from Rani Roopmati, Sangeet Samrat Tansen (1962) and other films has been attributed to Tripathi's mixing of Rajasthani folk with musical instruments like shehnai and mandolin, which never "offended sensibilities", yet had the "pulsating dance-like quality". His "experimental compositions" like "Na Kisi Ki Ankh Ka Noor Hoon" and "Lagta Nahin Hai Dil Mera" from the film Lal Qila (1960) remain popular. According to Raju Bharatan, Ustad Amir Khan derisory of film music composers, rated Naushad, S. N. Tripathi and Vasant Desai and to a lesser extent C. Ramchandra as notable composers. He gave music for several mythological and fantasy films and was "tagged as a mythological composer".

He acted in Uttara Abhimanyu (1946) and then played the role of Hanuman along with Trilok Kapoor who played Ram in the Homi Wadia directed superhit movie Ram Bhakt Hanuman (1948) where he also composed the music, his first prominent role as an actor. He was to continue playing the character of Hanuman in several films, including Homi Wadia's film, Hanuman Patal Vijay (1951).
